Sage for Sore Throats
My grandma used to keep a cup of sage gargle by the sink every time one of us kids would get a cold or a sore throat. Little did she know that years later, science would back up her folk remedy as not only being pain-relieving but also as having anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
Next time you feel a sore throat coming on, try this sage throat-gargle DIY recipe. Works like magic! Make fresh daily.
great with a lot of work . beautiful Easter

My new remedy is Toothache tincture and seems to have worked every time this winter when I had the sense a sore throat was lingering. I will be growing Sage next year and hopefully will have enough to make a tincture out of so I can have this remedy on hand as well!

You know, with all the fancy varieties of sage available, the good old fashioned herbal sage that used to be common in the ‘herbs’ section of the nursery is now uncommon! Tarragon can be hard to find too. (I do not know what tarragon is, but tried to get it for the neighbor.)
